    Maybe they just wobble about too much and do need to have some more structure to them? Just like Vale and others were saying last year.
    When I saw that front flatten out yesterday I was quite shocked actually. From an amateurs point of view, it didn't seem to be cricket.
    thye seem to very flexy in the sidewall but very stiff across the actual grip surface.I noticed to day that Marques is very fast (but still fairly smooth in transitions from Lto R and visa versa,he seems quicker than anyone else(who has an onboard camera anyway)Bradl looks pretty focussed and aggressive,only about 30 mins to go!

    Na. The lumps would cause the shims to not close properly.

    If you travel to the oil capital of NZ you will get to see our shock dyno and also to witness that we are certifiably nuts

    Many a person has tried before you. Nearly all have failed miserably.

    Anyone know how the different classes compare in cornering speed? Would Moto3 be cornering faster than MotoGP? I can't find anything on the internet comparing mid corner speeds.

    They only weigh 65kg in moto3. But slimmer tires. I'd suggest faster first half of the corner.

    What a finish! I was sure Salom had it in the bag with the lead he pulled so fast!

    Bone graft for George.
    Ouch! Harvesting bone from the ilial crest on the pelvis is supposed to hurt like a fucking hurty thing.
    They must have had to lose a piece of the clavicle during the op.
    Hope it takes, 'cos it doesn't always.
    I am surprised actually that given that it has a new plate that they didn't use a sacrificial bone cement.
    Oh, yeah, my bad, they don't really have any such thing yet.

    Damn NZ govt for not funding my research.......

    Yeah it's not that pleasant mate. Just recently had it done for my ankle fusion. But they normally just use it to speed up the healing process in this instance I believe.
